Such a useful and handy thing to know, thanks Paul...brilliant. If I'd only known about this a few years ago!

[@davidshawe8982]

Great stuff thank you Paul. Very informative. What I’ve tended to do in these situations is to use the selective adjustment brush on the black areas, then use the blacks slider to bring detail back. The I use the range mask/luminosity to control the area affected.

Hi Paul, thanks for pointing this out. There are some images that go "muddy" this will hopefully help me sort the problem. A prosperous 2021.

Hi Andrew, Glad it helped and as you say sometimes images can look 'muddy' rather quickly. A prosperous New Year to you as well! Paul G
